Bureau scientist
Susan D. Hovorka will present "Evaluation of Brine-Bearing Sands
of the Frio Formation, Upper Texas Gulf Coast, for Geologic Sequestration
of CO2" at the First National Conference
on Carbon Sequestration to be held May 1417, 2001, in Washington,
D.C.

This research
is the result of collaboration between the Bureau and a team led
by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to explore the many
aspects of geologic sequestration as a mechanism for the reduction
of atmospheric emission of greenhouse gases. Sue's co-authors
are C. Doughty, K. Pruess, and S. M. Benson of Lawrence Berkeley
National Lab; Paul R. Knox of the Bureau of Economic Geology;
and C. T. Green of the University of California, Hydrologic Sciences.
